Pam and Lalah and Bruce and Seth's Reel, or more simply,
ContraQuad
Seth Tepfer

Formation:	duple minor, double progression Becket
Level:	Med
Composed:	11/23/2002

A1:  (4) balance the ring, (4) Petronella Twirl; (8) Neighbor Swing
A2:  (4) balance the ring, (4) Petronella Twirl; (8) Partner Swing
B1   (8) on the left diagonal, right and left through (or, for a zestier dance,
      ladies start 1/2 hey for four passing right shoulder); 
     (8) Across set (with new couple) ladies start rSH  1/2 hey for four
B2   (4) Partner Balance (12) Partner Swing

Notes:	
Two partner swings. Going from a petronella twirl into a swing is very smooth,
if you do not stop to double clap.

In B1, when using the zesty variation and transitioning from one hey to next,
pass left shoulder with partner (at practically the same time that women are
passing right shoulders). When out, don't go anywhere, a couple will be there
momentarily to hey across the set with you.


I'm in conflict what to name this dance. This is a variant of the dance by ?Ted
Hodapp? "Rick and Sara's Reel" which is a variant of another dance with a title
in the form of "somebody and somebody's Reel". It is a very common practice
when making a dance that is a variant, or close relative, to have a similar
title, or a title that is evocative of the original. The folk process at work!
Tht title could be: Pam and Lalah and Bruce and Seth's Reel or more simply:
ContraQuad Reel. ContraQuad is easier to remember and tell, but not as
indicative of its legacy.
